## Overview

The Hip and Thigh Wound Protective Sleeve for Dogs is a veterinarian-recommended recovery solution designed to support healing after orthopedic procedures. Made from 100% organic cotton, this breathable and hypoallergenic sleeve ensures comfort and mobility while providing a secure fit with adjustable ties. It's machine washable, making it a practical choice for pet owners looking to aid their furry friends' recovery.

## Description

E-Collar alternative interchangeable for both legs designed for dogs after orthopaedic recoveries, such as patella luxation, TPLO, and cruciate repair. Also helps to protect the area from hot spot irritation. Can be used along with a full bandage to protect it from getting dirty, which means less bandage changing needed, or it could be used instead of the full bandage during the end of the healing process to keep it protected and allow airflow to promote healthy incision healing.

## Features

- E-COLLAR ALTERNATIVE - Used by veterinarians for dogs after orthopaedic recoveries to support the bandaging or replace it after the initial phases of healing.
- HIGH QUALITY MEDICAL FABRICS - Made from 100% pure organic cotton making the fabric breathable to promote healthy incision healing, hypoallergenic, and washable.
- SIZING - Please refer to the second image in the listing for our size chart.
- COMFORT and SAFETY - Made from stretchable fabrics which promote mobility and ensure comfort.
- ADJUSTABLE AND SECURE FIT - Secured by adjusting and tying two pairs of strings: the first pair of strings secure around the animal’s neck/collar and the second pair of strings tie around the side of the lower body.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How are you out of the large sizes?  that's like my local bar being out of bud light!!!  dilly dilly.**
A: Just want to say that while my dog’s measurements technically put him closer to a larger size, I chose one size smaller and it was perfect! As long as the actual solid sleeve part safely covers above and below the wound / incision, the straps and the lower leg Velcro closure are highly adjustable- especially the straps!!! They are stretchy and quite long enough to tie them either tightly or loosely (for walking around vs. sleeping. SO if your dog’s measurements run somewhat in between sizes, at least in our case the larger would have been too big while the smaller was just right. I’m not positive but I believe I bought a medium instead of a large for an 80 pound Golden Retriever. In my opinion it’s worth buying this brand because it’s way better than all the alternatives available that we saw - it is the only one that actually would NOT fall down or get out of place (due to the highly adjustable stretchy strap placement) or ride up on the leg (due to adjustable Velcro closure).   Hope you get what you need!

**Q: I measured higher up on the thigh than the diagram. Is this correct?**
A: My best answer is that you want the bottom of it to be at least a few inches below the "knee"(depending on your type / size of dog) so it hits at the thinner part of the dog's leg; it secures down there with adjustable velcro; I don't know where your dog's wound is but even if it is up higher, it cannot hurt to have the lower part with the velcro closure down by the "ankle" so it does not ride up.  I had a 75 pound Golden Retriever and I followed the instructions and diagram for measuring and the size  worked perfectly.  The devise is stretchy and the ties are stretchy so there is a lot of flexibility in adjusting it.  If you tie the string to the collar too tightly, you will see it pulling the collar too much and especially, when you tie the part around the abdomen, be sure you are not impinging on any organs.  If you dog is just lying in one place or sleeping for the night with supervision, you can make the ties looser.  This thing really stays on it is the only thing that did work for me.  Bottom line, I would NOT measure higher up on the thigh than the diagram shows -- you need the bottom part lower down than the thigh - it needs to hit at the narrower part of the leg so the dog cannot push it up; plus the diameter of the velcro bottom probably would be too small to go around the knee area.  Best of luck in both the long and short term with your pup!

**Q: People have asked this but not gotten a good response yet: where on the thigh is the measurement made? Or, what part of the device are they measuring?**
A: The measurement should be made around the highest point of the back leg up to the belly. We also suggest rounding up to the next size if the sizing falls in between two sizes.

**Q: what is the length of the two leg sizes?**
A: The large measures at 22" and the x large is at 24". My dog measures almost 26" from floor to hip.  They both fit him, but the XL fits him better.  It has more room on the under part of his leg.  I rolled the cuff up on both of them and used safety pins to secure them. They tend to work their way down under his foot.  The tie strings are holding up nicely, that kind of surprised me.  Lol. I have been taking it on and off at least 4 times per day for walks. The stitching on the raised reflective strip came loose in the washer. That doesn't bother me because it does not interfere with the function. So, hand wash if  needed  and hang to dry. :) I will reccomend this product and would buy it again if needed. 
P.S.  I am in cold country,  so on the XL one I cut some wool to the shape and hot glued it into place for his walks and such. I use the L for warmer days.  :)

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect For Giving My Dog a Break From The Cone or Surgical Suit
*by M***Z on June 27, 2025*

I bought this because my dog had ACL surgery a year ago and they just did another surgery to remove the suture material because he’s still limping one year later. This is good for him to wear while I’m home and need to keep an eye on him and I say this because the material is cotton and it’s not waterproof so if he starts licking at it, the material will get wet. If I have to leave him alone I have to put a surgical suit on him which is hot in the summer weather. This simply gives him a break from wearing that or the cone. He doesn’t mind wearing it at all. I’m very pleased with this purchase and I believe it was a good purchase even after reading the negative reviews.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good alternative to a cone
*by T***T on July 13, 2025*

Used this instead of a cone after TPLO surgery on my 62 lb boxer/bulldog mix. It was effective at preventing her from licking/scratching. I liked that it is breathable to allow healing. This was the exact same sleeve that the surgeon sent her home with. Yes, is is rather difficult to figure out how to put on, but once I did it a couple of times, it was not difficult. It did slip off easily until I made an extra loop to thread the string through. That seemed to help prevent slipping. I purchased this one to alternate while I washed (by hand) the other one. Overall, this was much better for my girl instead of a cone for 2 weeks. I even kept it on for a few days after staples were removed as it seemed to make her more careful of that leg. We are still in the healing process and are going for follow up x rays next week. This product helped quite a bit if it fits properly - be sure to measure.

### ⭐⭐⭐ The straps don’t hold up so have a needle and thread on hand
*by A***B on December 1, 2023*

What I like:It has a two-tiered approach to positioning over the wound (head to tail and around the rump)It’s machine-washableIt has a reflective safety strip for walksWhat I don’t like:The straps that are supposed to hold this onto your dog only stay on the sleeve a week or so. The stitches or the fabric are too weak. And let me assure you I bought mine big so that wouldn’t be an issue of tightness. It is just poor quality.That said, because I can sew, I’ve resewn the straps twice in a month and only because of this it’s actually functioning well.My old dog has sebaceous cysts which leave open wounds on his body. I use menstrual pads to stick to the sleeve and absorb blood and pus from the cyst on his hip and it allows for ventilation and healing. I change the pads daily when cleaning the wound.Overall:I would recommend these if you can sew and if your dog has cysts. My dog wears a donut collar to prevent licking/chewing. Without a cone or collar, I would not recommend. The fabric is thin and easily moved aside. Don’t use this as your only defense against licking/chewing post-surgery. But if you’re trying to dry up cysts, this is a great option if you also use menstrual pads stuck to the inside because you get air movement but also protective coverage from dirt. Plus, no blood/pus on your floors/beds.Note:Sorry if this is graphic, but it’s real life with an elderly golden retriever (12.5 years, deaf, and blind in one eye) who is still enjoying life, so I’m not giving up yet. Hoping this will help others in the same boat.
